And this comment thread! You want your time capsule to be thorough, right? c:
Hey, nerds in 2068! Today, we think mobile devices, IoT creep, the cloud, and machine learning are the future of computing while lamenting an erosion of privacy and security; were we silly geese, or is that your guys' reality? Also, have you contacted aliens or become digital consciousnesses yet?

Nobody will understand what "IoT creep" and "cloud" mean (at least not the meaning you imply) in 50 years :D
So, for their benefit:
- IoT creep - Internet of Things is a movement towards adding tiny computers into all things (light switches, plant watering systems, fridges, toasters ...) so they can communicate and be controlled from mobile phones.
- Cloud - refers to cloud computing, which is just the way we call when you put information or code to run on a company's server instead of on your own computer.
2068 here, everyone's addicted to virtual sex. Once you had body suits that could simulate your entire environment, we no longer cared about being outside the facebook social network in a real sense.
A few of us venture outside to reminisce about the old days, but our fascismo overlords have made those opportunities less and less over the years.
